After military duty, he returned to GE and retired after 371/2 years of employment.

In 1982, Alfred Leary and Cynthia Battles were joined in holy matrimony, to this union, one son Alfred D. Leary was born. The father and son duo shared a special bond and a love of cars. Going to the annual auto show and just being together was special. Later Allie would become granddaddy, and his most special joy was doting on his grandson Alvion. Al and Cynt shared a beautiful life of 40 years; for the two of them, it was family first.
